Since I don't have a KCA account I shall answer this here.
Kinchers deal lightning damage, kirostas deal poison damage and kinreys deal acid damage. But the kinchers and the kirostas usually are easy enough to deal with, and the kinreys are the real danger. (Specially in the other nests that pretty much only have kinreys.) So it's best to wear a jewelry set with as much
acid protection as possible.
The kizarak also has a spit attack, but it's not stopped by any jewelry or armor.
Kidinak don't do any magical damage, their only special attack is to cast sleep, which is very annoying. This is the
only mob special I know of that's actually a spell-casting, meaning that forest resistance should help resist it. (Lake resistance doesn't help against kipee stun, for example, because that's not technically a spell.) So your acid protection set should also have maximum
forest resistance.
As for damage done, kidinaks have 80% protection against all melee and kinreys 60%, so ideally you'd really only want pike users with ignore armor tanking them, as any other melee will hardly scratch them. Nukers should use cold against kidinaks (they have no protection against cold and 20% or more protection against everything else) and any racial spell against kinreys (they have 30% protection from racial spells, but 60% protection from cold, acid and rot). Kinreys have less health and do more damage than kidinaks, so should always be killed first.
